[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone please tell me why Joe continues to get away with this "working class hero" schtick when his father owned a car dealership? So, just because you're from Scranton, even though you were probably one of the richest kids in Scranton, that makes you "one of the people." GTFOH with that crap. Joe has that "drinks scotch and plays golf all day with Union leaders and heads of corporations that he grifts money from" vibe. No thank you.

And Trump sucks, for the record. [b]I just don't like poseurs.[/b]

Biden’s father didn’t own the car dealership, his father worked at the car dealership. It wasn’t in Scranton, it was in Delaware. They had to leave Scranton for Delaware because there were no jobs in Scranton. And Joe Biden does not drink scotch or any other kind of alcohol. [/quote]

First PP, sounds like you're the poseur, spouting a bunch of stuff that isn't true. [/quote]

Sorry, made a mistake. His father was a sales manager at a Scranton car dealership and used to go yachting. Joe acts like his Dad was punching a clock in a steel factory.

“While Mr. Biden has described his early youth as stable and relatively carefree, his father suffered a number of business reversals, and for several years when Joe Jr. was young the Bidens were forced to move in with his mother’s parents, the Finnegans, in their modest home on North Washington Avenue in Scranton.

Though Scranton was sharing in the postwar economic boom, Joe Sr. had trouble finding steady work, and nothing that measured up to his previous success. For a time, he commuted to Wilmington to clean boilers for a heating and cooling company. In 1953, he moved the family there.”[/quote]

So, his dad was a privileged, failed capitalist.

Middle class my %ss.[/quote]

Didn't you hear the part that his father is a "failed capitalist"? A failed capitalist is very much middle class and Biden certainly didn't grow up rich even if his father had for a brief time enjoyed success.[/quote]

Biden's father used to go yachting before drinking himself into a sales manager position at a car dealership and then all the way to cleaning boilers. His Dad was a upper-crust drunk who drank his way down the socioeconomic ladder.

He might have "cleaned boilers" for a brief time but when you're dad is the sales manager at an auto dealership and used to go yachting you are not some "working class," "blue collar," "average Joe." My point is not that his background disqualifies him and I need someone who has an authentic working class background to vote for, but that one of his selling points that he constantly makes is how he had such a salt-of-the-earth working class background. Biden always struck me as a smarmy, insincere fraud who's gained a lot from this "white working class" act that he puts on, which is a bunch of BS.

Elizabeth Warren and Bernie, to name a few, actually had working class backgrounds and they come through as authentic when they talk of it.
